22000 microfarad capacitor on the integrated recti

in 912 / 914 Technical Questions 9 years ago
Per the 912 installation manual, section 24-00-00 page 14, both Rev 0 and Rev 1, I need a 22000 microfarad/25V capacitor to flatten the voltage.
The wiring diagrams on pages 19 and 20 do not show a 22000 capacitor.
Where should the 22000 cap be installed?

    Absolutely!
    It does more than flatten voltage; it protects the regulator in case you turn off the master switch with the engine running. The regulator has no ability to store energy so the capacitor acts like a battery and allows the regulator to dump its load. :)
    It is item #14 on page 19 but it is labeled incorrectly (as a noise suppressor, like the fuel pump uses).
